On the right is the first costruction - craft foam, duct tape and those goggles. That got chopped up to make the pattern for the leather version.
The lenses for those goggles ended up being the lenses in the final version too, but the 'goggle' parts were made from wonderflex. Amazing stuff.
And the (almost) finished version. Veg. tan leather, coloured with antique stain and joined with brass rivets. I'm thinking that it's quite good considering that it's my first leather project. The finished version (which will be photographed eventually) has a few more rivets and has been waxed to give it a nice, almost shiny finish. Somehow, it looks more like 'real' leather to me. Strange, since it is real leather.
